Leap, a leading international student mobility platform, has successfully raised $65 million in a Series E funding round comprising both primary and secondary equity. The round was led by UK-based Apis Partners, through its managed funds—Apis Growth Markets Fund III and Apis Global Growth Fund III. Existing investors, including Owl Ventures, Jungle Ventures, and Peak XV Partners, also participated in the round, reinforcing their continued confidence in Leap’s growth trajectory.
Since its inception in 2019, Leap has raised over $200 million in equity and has established itself as a comprehensive platform catering to international students through its brands: LeapScholar, LeapFinance, GeeBee, and Yocket. The company provides a full-stack solution for students aspiring to study abroad, offering assistance in test preparation, admissions, financing, and career support.
‘We have been very impressed with the rate at which Leap has scaled since its inception, serving thousands of students across 10 countries,’ said Udayan Goyal, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Apis Partners. This new partnership offers Apis an exciting opportunity to support Leap as it further expands its reach and continues to make a difference in the lives of students globally, he said.
Leap’s Co-founder, Vaibhav Singh, highlighted the company’s rapid growth, noting that it has witnessed a fivefold expansion since its Series D round two years ago. Our mission is to build the underlying infrastructure for global student mobility, and this funding will help us enhance our offerings to better serve students worldwide, Singh said.
Co-founder Arnav Kumar emphasized the role of technological advancements in Leap’s growth. We have launched multiple industry-first products and experiences to make the student journey seamless. The ongoing AI revolution will allow us to further refine and expand our offerings at an unprecedented pace, he added.
With this fresh infusion of capital, Leap aims to deepen its market presence, enhance its technology-driven student support ecosystem, and accelerate innovations that simplify the study-abroad journey. The company remains committed to empowering students with the resources they need to achieve their global education aspirations.
